How would you describe your style?
Classic casual or casual classic. I like to be comfortable and, with my children and my 'making' lifestyle, I like to wear things that are easily washed. I am not a trendy person so I live in things I can wear year after year.
What's your favourite piece in your wardrobe?
I love my jeans, my brown boots and slip-on mules, I love cardigans and long sleeve tees.
Who are your style icons?
I don't know that I cling to a specific icon's style but I do appreciate the style of Blake Lively, Rachel Bilson, Victoria Beckham and, yes, Kate, wife of Prince William.
Do you have any favourite designers?
Haha! No. I don't pay attention enough for that.
Where are your favourite places to shop for new clothes clothes?
I really like H&M - good style for nice price. I like Boden, Anthropologie & Gap.
Do you make or customise your outfits?
I do sometimes but mostly, I keep things very simple.
Do you have any great tips for mixing up and personalising an outfit?
My only tip is to make sure you dress in a way that is comfortable for you physically and is true to who you are. Owning who and what you are is the most important thing to put on each day.

Eclectic. I love everything from 1950's vintage dress with full skirts to punk style shredded t-shirts

A pair of vintage black leather pants
Who are your style icons?
Beyonce always looks fantastic. I also love the way the Olsen twins combine vintage with designer pieces.

Chloe and Missoni are a few on my favorites. As far as smaller designer go I love Zero + Maria Cornejo and A.L.C.
Where are your favourite places to shop for new clothes clothes?
I love Barneys- their selection is amazing!
Do you make or customise your outfits?
Constantly! I love to sew and I'm always making new things. My favorite things to sew are dresses and handbags. I also frequently alter vintage clothing to fit my style. I find many skirts and dresses with great prints but often the length is odd (mid-calf) so I hem them into minis.

Experiment and don't lean too heavily on trends.!
